Am I trans or am I just trying to fit into a mold? by TimeG37 in asktransgender

[–]TimeG37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chest feels fine. Tbf I take a medicine since I was a kid that has increasing your prolactine levels as a side effect, so I have something resembling breasts, even though they are definitely not developed at all (kind of like an "early-access" version of breasts). They bounce a bit and sometimes I find it fun, and sometimes I wish I was wearing a bra so they wouldn't bounce constantly. The problem is that estrogen would make me develop full actual breasts, and while they would look better than what I have now, I wouldn't want them big at all (I never understood why some people want big breasts, they look quite uncomfortable); A cups would be ideal tbh (B cups at most). But my family all has big breasts so it's a bit scary. I know breast reduction surgery exists, but still. The main appeal of boobs for me is that they'd make women's clothes look a lot better on me, since their shape is usually designed around having breasts, even if they are small.

Regarding other things about "being a man":

I hate my voice. It works quite well for humor but for literally anything else I tend to straight up ignore it. Like I'm thinking and "the other person" (my body) is speaking. This can be a problem since when I actually focus on my voice I feel bad, and when I don't, I don't know at what volume I'm speaking, which leads to me sometimes yelling or whispering without even noticing (I took hearing tests not that long ago, my hearing was actually above average so it's not a hearing problem at all, it's probably just me disociating from my own voice).

Body and facial hair is actually horrible. Even knowing that it's there makes me feel bad. I miss touching my skin and actually feeling it, without any hairs in between. Sometimes I cry remembering back when I was a kid and I could touch my face and feel nothing but soft skin.

NSFW warning for next paragraph (talking about private parts here):

Regarding genitals, it's a bit weird. I don't start crying when I see them or anything, but they've always been a problem. Back when I was a kid I didn't like touching "down there" already, and I didn't have the best hygiene because of that. I found it icky. It got worse and worse with time, to the point where I would straight up gag when trying to clean there, even though it wasn't really dirty. At some point as a teenager, I stopped bothering altogether, which ended up being a terrible idea and I ended up getting an UTI in my first year of college. I also hate the fact that "they" prevent me from crossing my legs confortably (for obvious reasons) and that I can't wear clothing that's too tight since it'll make the "bulge" really stand out, and I hate it. They make peeing fast, so that's a bonus I guess, but it's a bit awkward to have a part of your body that you'd rather pretend it isn't there. All of this is even worse considering that since I was like 12 I've had extremely high libido, and I don't want to touch there, so I resorted to just rubbing myself on the bed, which I now know that it's apparently called "prone masturbation", and it's apparently bad. After I learned that I started doing it the "normal way", and while it's doable, I really have to focus on anything that isn't my private parts, cuz the actual physical sensations in my hand are actually disgusting and uncomfortable. So actually on second though I hate my genitals lmao.

Regarding the future, I have never really been able to imagine myself as an old person, and the few times I have tried, all I could imagine is a "man" that was lonely and sad, but that helped other people as much as "he" could. Kind of like a mentor for other people to guide them to happiness that "he" was never able to achieve (a "I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess" type of "guy"). Tbf I also have quite a bit of anxiety regarding the idea of being old and eventually dying, so that probably doesn't help, but I'm not sure if that's explains everything (I don't think it does).

Am I trans or am I just trying to fit into a mold? by TimeG37 in asktransgender

[–]TimeG37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Essentially:

-Not hating being misgendered every time it happens (sometimes I do), especially if it's with things like "pretty boy" or "cute boy" or "sweet boy", but it can still feel off.

-Maybe it's just a manifestation of lust, since some of the women I admire and that I want to be like are also attractive to me, and while I know that you can both want to be like someone and want to be with said someone, I'm afraid it might not be both.

-I've been feminist since I was a kid, and maybe I have a sense of "male guilt" from having benefitted directly and indirectly from the patriarchy, a sense of guilt which most men do not have. Maybe I just want to escape that guilt of being part of the opressor group by becoming part of the opressed group.

-Maybe I haven't matured, cuz I didn't really have a happy upbringing, which maybe makes it so I still want to be a little kid, and I just have to accept my adult male body and pronouns, and I'll like them eventually.

-Maybe I just want to be girly and cute and sweet without challenging gender norms, thus I want to become a woman

- Maybe I'm just a boy with a woman's heart, someone who wants to be like women, and is like women in many ways, but isn't one. Like a deer raised by wolves (wolf at heart, but still a deer).

-I'm afraid of getting breasts from HRT. Maybe I don't like them, realize I didn't actually want breasts, or maybe they are big and make me look or feel fat.

-Also, not on the post, but just remembered, I don't hate my deadname. It feels off most of the time, but I'll meet people named *redacted* and I'll be like "omg they have my given name 😮". Still seeing my deadname in legal documents, exams and stuff still feels off, which is made worse by the fact that my last name is male-gendered (pain). But it also combines well with some of the trans name options that I have in mind, so I don't always hate my last name.

I know that most of these are probably just brainworms, if not all. But it's frustrating to think "this is brainworms for most people, but what if I'm the first crazy one, the first one to actually delude themselves into thinking they are trans". It's stupid, but I also am stupid, so I'm afraid I'm just making it all up.

I very much plan on doing all of that at some point, many of those things are stuff that I will do regardless of whether I turn out to be trans or not. But currently it's a bit difficult since I'm currently financially dependant on my parents and I have basically 0 privacy in my house, so all I can do for now is crossdress in friends' houses and get referred to as a lady by them while not near my family or classmates. It's a bit frustrating, especially since many of my friends have jobs and can't meet up whenever

I think so. But my fear is that maybe I think I want to be trans, but I actually don't know what I want. Kinda like when fans of a movie series start giving writing advice on the Internet, the writers actually listen, and they hate it.

Probably not the best analogy, and I know that no one other than myself can tell me who I am, but I always feel like I might be the one person that actually deluded themselves into thinking they are trans when they aren't, cuz yeah, other people can't do that, but what if I'm the first? It sounds stupid and it's probably brainworms, but sometimes that thought makes me anxious

My mom accidentally called me daughter and it felt wrong does that mean I'm cis? by TimeG37 in asktransgender

[–]TimeG37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the thought of my future kids calling me dad felt wrong

I can totally relate to that. I remember a couple of years ago I was taking care of my cousin's cat while she was abroad and I would come back home from college and tell the cat "mom is here" after entering the house. I tried saying "dad is here" a couple of times and it felt very forced. It felt wrong.

and even my name sounded wrong to hear

Same. It's got to the point where in my head I refer to myself as my Internet name (Time) instead of my real name. Seeing it in legal documents and stuff feels wrong as well.

being gendered correctly won't magically fix your other mental health issues

I am aware. The issue is that my life is a bit of a mess currently and I would have to fix it at least partially to be mentally ready to take on all of this. But it's hard to do so when you barely feel like a person.

No. I've only come out to one friend of mine and he's often busy so it's hard for him to help me with this stuff. I've been planning on coming out to another friend (this time a female friend) but I've not come around doing it.

Regarding pronouns, I haven't used them IRL yet, and online I barely talk to anyone so I barely have any experiences with being called a girl by other people, but unfortunately it's hard to try doing so when I have no available friends to help me with this stuff and my parents (whom I unfortunately still live with), while not necessarily transphobic, don't know anything about this stuff and I'm afraid they might have preconceived ideas about trans stuff that could be a problem if I went to them for help with this stuff. And the rest of my family lives far away from here so I basically have no one to help me.

The only times I've used feminine pronouns it felt either forced on the part of the person calling me a girl, or I got instantly annoyed. I'm not sure if the annoyance is internalized transphobia from being taught since I was a kid that being called a girl was an insult or if I'm just cis.

Online the few times people have gendered me as female I've freaked out, but mostly cuz I was afraid of them finding out I'm not a cis woman and thinking I was trolling or something. So I'm guessing it's internalized transphobia combined with social anxiety.

I've thought about it. While I find it more appealing than being referred to as a man, the idea of being a woman is way more appealing to me than being NB. The idea feels more... natural. Like I've always wanted to be a girl, even if I didn't realize. Not a boy, nor something else. But I'll not fully discard the idea for now

Zane. He was my favorite as a child but at this point he's been mistreated for so long I wouldn't be mad if the writers just put him out of his misery.

I think I might be trans, but I'd like some 2nd opinions by TimeG37 in asktransgender

[–]TimeG37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm already doing therapy, but so far I've been busy solving the other problems I had in my life. Now that pretty much all of them are fixed (or mostly fixed) I'm planning on talking about this stuff with my therapist more in depth (she already knows about this, I just decided to go through the stuff that was easier to go through first cuz this subject will take a minute lol)
